JOHN C. SANDERS, OF HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVLNIA.

COLLAR CLIP.

Application led January 12, 1922,

taching a collar to the neck band of a shirt,

and one object of the invention is to provide a simple one-piece fastener which is thin, re-

versible and inexpensive to manufacture.

,ff-another object ot the invention is so to T construct the fastener that the same will reg 1' "i vention appertains.

ln the drawings Figure l shows in plan, a device constructin accordance with the invention; Figure s an elevation wherein the device is shown lgewiseg igure 8 is an elevation showing portion or a collar wherewith the device forming the subject matter of this application has been assembled, it being presupposed that the observer is looking at theinner wall ci" the collar; Figure l is a view showing a collar wherewith the device forming the subject matter oi' this application has been applied, it being assumed that the observer is looking at the outer wall of the coled i lar, the outer wall of the collar being broken away; Figure 5 a transverse section taken through the collar and the shirt band and Figure 6 is a section on the line 6--6 of Figure 3.

e The structure forming the subject mattei' e' diate tongue l() and side tongues ll. There are enlarged openings l2 in the disk 8 at the inner ends ot the slits 9, the openings defining gripping points 14 in the tongues 10 and ll. Noting Figure 2 of the drawings, 1t

sa will be observed 4that all portions ot the disk S and the tongues l0 and .l1 are located in a common plane. lAs indicated by the nu- Seral No. 528,786.

meral l5, the intermediate tongue l0 preferably is slightly longer than the side tongues ll.

The structure may be used in various ways. One method of application will now be described. The numeral l denotes a shirt band having the usual outer strip 2. The numeral 4 marks a collar includingan outer wall 5 and an inner wall 6. The disk 8 may be placed against the wall 6 ot the collar, the intermediate tongue l0 being pushed downwardly and inwardly through the button hole 7 in the inner wall ot the collar. The major portion ot the disk 8 thus is disposed on the external surface of the inner wall 6 of the collar as clearlv shown in. Figure 3, and may be hooked under the lower edge oiE the outer strip 2 of the shirt band l, as shown in Figure and in this way the collar may be assembled without ditliculty with the shirt band.

Since all portions or' the device are located in a common plane, as shown in Figure 2, it is possible to etlect a reversal, either side ot the disk being placed next to the surtace of the inner wall of the collar. In view oit the fact that the intermediate tongue l() is slightly longer than the side tongues ll as shown at l5, the tongue l0 may be inserted readily into the button hole 7. rlhe gripping points llformed by the openings l2 enable the disk to retain a firm hold on the collar. Noting Figure 5, it will be seen that the tongue l0 spaces the walls 5 and 6 of the collar and facilita-tes the longitudinal sliding ot a necktie Q5 between the said walls. No attention need be given to the handling ot the device when the same is mounted in the collar, it being necessary, merely, to thrust the tongue i0 through the button hole 7, regardless ot which the tace ot the disk is toward the collar.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is l. A device ot' the class described comprising a disk provided with approximately parallel slits forminga resilient intermediate tongue and resilient side tongues, there being enlarged openings in the disk at the inner ends ot the slits, the openings defining gripping points in all of the tongues, all porions ot the disk and of the tongues lying in a common plane, whereby the device may be reversed.

2. A device of the class described, constructed as set forth in claim 1 and further characterized by the fact that the intermediate tongue is longer than the side tongues. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as JOHN o. SANDERS.
